Whether it’s for a business trip, sightseeing, or a shopping day out, explore Dar es Salaam city with ease with this private 4-hour or 8-hour chauffeured service. Hop aboard your vehicle at your hotel or accommodation in Dar es Salaam, then spin through the city streets with a private driver. Discover diverse corners of Dar es Salaam such as Mwenge Woodcarvers Market or National Museum and House of Culture. You and the group decide which attractions will include.

Here are our top five recommendations:
• Mwenge Woodcarvers Market: A great place to buy souvenirs, the Mwenge Woodcarvers Market features dozens of open-air stalls selling a variety of products, but it is best known for its sculptures and wood carvings. Be sure to take a look around before purchasing so you know your options, and don’t be afraid to bargain.
• National Museum and House of Culture: hosts a range of pieces, from fossils and bones to carvings and statues. It also has a collection on the history of the slave trade and colonialism, as well as a number of cars that belonged to the country’s first president. It’s a good way to spend a couple of hours for those looking for an educational experience.
• Village Museum: Established in 1996, this museum showcases over a dozen different types of traditional Tanzanian huts. The museum is interactive because you can enter and explore the huts, and there are also dance and music performances available for an extra price. Located about six miles north of the city center, it’s a good place to go to learn more about rural Tanzania’s customs and traditions.
• Coco Beach: Also known as Oyster Bay, this beach is located right on the Msasani Peninsula. You’ll find an abundance of tasty street food snacks served here, as well as an occasional concert. Be sure to check the city events guide for its schedule of live music and beach parties. For those looking to check out the nightlife, New Maisha Club is a popular nightclub located right along the beach.
• Mbudya Island: For those looking to escape the bustling city for a day, Mbudya Island is the perfect place to go for a relaxing respite of beautiful beaches, clear waters, and amazing seafood. You can take a short boat ride here from many points along Dar es Salaam’s harbor – just ask a local boatman or arrange a fare near the White Sands Hotel, the Slipway, or Kunduchi. Snorkeling and cabanas are available at a price or you can bring your own supplies for a day of rest and relaxation.
